Abby, noticing a squirrel in a tree as we were driving down the road: "Look, Mommy! That squirrel is way up in that tree! Just like Zacchaeus was way up in the tree and Jesus said, 'You come down from there!'"

While reading a book about the birth of Jesus: "Look! Jesus is Mary's newborn son just like baby Logan is your newborn son! That is awesome!" (Yes, I was impressed she made that connection. Yes, I laughed out loud when she declared this to be "awesome.") :)

Casey and Abby were playing around together tonight, and this conversation resulted:

Casey: "Abby are we goofy?"

Abby: "Yes, we are goofy. Mommy! Daddy and Abby are goofy!"

Casey: "Is Mommy goofy?"

Abby: "No, Mommy is not goofy."

Casey: "Then what is Mommy?"

Abby: "Mommy is not goofy. Mommy is crazy. Angry and crazy."

Casey: *nearly falls on floor from laughing so hard

Let me just say... she is totally correct. In my defense, however, I think it is completely within reason to assume that moving into a new home with a toddler (who now has an ear infection) and a 4-week-old newborn (who now has acid reflux) might leave a mommy slightly short on patience and sanity. Right?? Right?! Oh, and clean clothes. We are definitely short on clean clothes...
